=Experimental Builds=
== Try Server Build ==
https://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-builds/jdolske@mozilla.com-try-442e0af518fd/
I finally have a Try Server build with 404 redirection and a new 404 error page. Alas, this new 404 page looks pretty similar to the old network error page (no fancy LinkDoctor stuff or anything). It does have the new background image, which I still think is cool.
Note that I've only tested the Mac build.
It has a 512 byte 404-redirect threshold similar to Chrome and IE. I've been using http://www.almostinfinite.com/foobar (overrides) and http://www.seattlepi.com/foobar (shows the site 404 page) as test URLs.
== 404 Extension ==
A Firefox Extension which overrides 404 pages and supplies information from Google Link Doctor can be found [http://wiki.mozilla.org here]. Note that the 404-override mechanism is currently pretty crude, and it just has a test UI for displaying all the data returned by Link Doctor. I've only tested it on Firefox 3.5, but it should probably work on Firefox 3.0 as well. It's safe to install it on your default profile, but you may not want to leave it installed.
